The Importance of Health and Wellness

To start with, let’s learn more about the difference between the two terms.

Health focuses on the physical and mental body being free from illness, injury, or disease. Health is a goal you work to achieve. For example, losing weight or strengthening your heart through cardiovascular exercise are goals to be reached.
Wellness, on the other hand, is more than just being free from illness. Instead, it is a process of change and personal growth that lasts for a lifetime.

Wellness also addresses the broader spectrum of your body, encompassing the overall balance of your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Thus, wellness is inherently a lifestyle choice.
U

nfortunately, it being a choice also means we often make excuses as to why we can’t reach our goals of achieving great health and well-being. That’s where a health and wellness coach comes in.
